Quotes

add »
Reggie: (referring to the stock market investing) Why would we do this with you?
Bob: Because if I hit it big, it'll kill you that you didn't get in on it. (edit)
Bob: You know, they say money is the greatest aphrodisiac.
Reggie: No, that's alcohol, and trust me, there isn't enough of it in the world. (edit)
Father Joe: I happen to know a lot of religious doctors.
Becker: I know a lot of alcoholic doctors. It doesn't make heavy drinking a good idea. (edit)
Father Joe: Oh please, I've been a priest thirty years. You think there's a form of 'I don't believe' I haven't heard? You think I'm going to lift my skirts, jump on that desk and scream, 'Eek, an atheist?' (edit)
Margaret: (to Becker) Oh, they are building you a condo in hell even as we speak. (edit)

Trivia

add »
John refers to Asperger's syndrome as a "serious illness." In point of fact it is not an illness but a neurolgical condition, a form of autism. For more information, check out www.udel.edu/bkirby/asperger. (edit)
